Quire
Effective date: 3 October 2026.
Scope and responsibility#
This policy applies to Quire’s public sites, adult waitlist and browser-local demo and, when contracted, to hosted services and proprietary self-hosted software. Quire is operated by Nuits, a Finnish sole proprietorship operated by Bapusaheb Patil. The Terms of Service govern licences, remedies and termination.
An institution sets its own educational rules and is responsible for administering its users with reasonable care. This policy does not replace its learner policy or make each learner the purchaser of a Quire plan. Public waitlist and demo users must be at least 18. Institutional child use requires approved onboarding and the safeguards in Age and parental consent.
Lawful and respectful use#
Do not use Quire to:
- Violate applicable law, court orders or others’ intellectual-property, privacy or confidentiality rights.
- Distribute material involving child sexual exploitation, grooming, credible threats, unlawful harassment or non-consensual intimate imagery, or facilitate violence or abuse.
- Impersonate someone deceptively, forge credentials, obtain accounts fraudulently or misrepresent grades, qualifications or authorised institutional access.
- Send unsolicited bulk messages, deceptive promotions, phishing, malware or malicious links.
- Publish or collect another person’s private information without lawful authority, including disclosing learner records to unauthorised recipients.
Legitimate educational discussion, criticism, accessibility needs and lawful research are not prohibited merely because they are controversial. Institutions should distinguish necessary course material from prohibited conduct, provide appropriate access controls and apply their own safeguarding obligations.
Protect accounts and infrastructure#
Keep credentials and licence keys confidential, use appropriate account security, and promptly report suspected unauthorised access. Do not access another tenant’s data, bypass permissions or licence limits, disable security controls, interfere with service availability, mine cryptocurrency on service resources or deliberately overwhelm the service. Do not exploit an error to obtain data or benefits you are not entitled to.
Security testing of a production deployment requires the operator’s or responsible customer’s prior written permission and agreed scope. To report a vulnerability, contact legal@quirelms.com, minimise access, preserve relevant non-sensitive evidence and do not disclose learner data publicly. This policy does not grant unauthorised testing rights.
An agreed plan or order governs capacity and usage limits. Normal educational use within those limits is permitted. Unexpected consumption is handled through notification and the agreed budget or plan settings, not an invented charge or an undisclosed ban on ordinary use.
Personal data, children and sensitive material#
Do not put real student records, sensitive information, passwords or confidential customer documents into the public browser-local demo. Use fictional data. A demonstration is not approved institutional onboarding.
For a contracted deployment, collect only data needed for the lawful educational or business purpose. Do not submit highly sensitive health records, biometric identification data or similarly high-risk data unless a separate agreement expressly permits the processing and safeguards. Minors must not be targeted with advertising or unrelated commercial profiling. Do not use Quire to sell learner data or share it for behavioural advertising.
Under-13 use requires approved institutional onboarding, verified school or parent authority and a signed child-data agreement. School consent, where legally available, is limited to the authorised educational purpose; it is not authority for unrelated commercial uses. AI and optional third-party sharing remain disabled for children until approved for that deployment. Neither a checkbox nor an institution’s assertion replaces operator duties under applicable child-privacy law.
Integrations and AI#
Only connect providers, external tools and recipients authorised for the deployment. Check lawful authority, notices, security, location and contractual terms before sending personal data. Do not use an integration to evade an agreed residency or child-data restriction. Software support for a vendor does not mean that vendor is an approved subprocessor.
Do not submit data to an AI provider outside the approved instructions and scope, use identifiable learner material for unrelated model training, or present generated output as independently verified fact. Educators must meaningfully review AI-assisted grades, feedback and other decisions affecting learners and provide the institution’s appropriate challenge route. Do not use AI to facilitate abuse, deceptive impersonation or prohibited discriminatory decisions. Read the AI use disclosure for feature and provider limitations.
Reports, restrictions and challenge#
Send abuse or security reports to legal@quirelms.com. Include the deployment, relevant URL or account, a concise description and safe evidence. Do not email complete learner files or illegal imagery. Contact appropriate emergency services directly if there is an immediate risk to life; Quire is not an emergency reporting service.
We investigate credible reports and apply measures proportionate to the severity, evidence and risk. Where feasible, we notify the responsible customer or user, explain the issue and allow a reasonable correction period. We may restrict a particular upload, user or feature immediately if needed to address imminent harm, a serious security risk, clearly unlawful conduct or a binding legal requirement. Notice follows as soon as lawful and safe. We do not promise to monitor every communication or detect every abuse.
A restriction does not automatically transfer ownership of content, eliminate statutory remedies or cancel lawful export rights. A material remediable contract breach is subject to the notice and cure provisions in the terms. Contact the legal mailbox to challenge a decision, supply context or request restoration; we will review the decision and restore access when its basis no longer applies. Institutional academic or disciplinary disputes should also use that institution’s process.
